One of the uses of my many AI assistants is to help me improve my own posts. For example, I ask if I have thought about the most important topics and questions, if the whole thing is logically structured and written in an understandable way. AI tools are actually quite good at this. They have … Read more
In a previous Smart Content Report, I featured a funny illustrated guide generated by ChatGPT’s Dall-E: I find such “failures” interesting to see, because they can reveal fundamental problems. For example, we are still a long way from an AI that actually understands the world around it (“General World Model”). At the moment, these tools … Read more

What I mean is this: With ChatGPT, for example, I can draft an article much faster than I could without it. Sometimes it feels … Read more
Redditor ForceTypical asked ChatGPT to come up with memes. As expected, the results are strange.
Give it a listen. It’s a gimmick, sure, but at the same time it shows the current state of a music AI like Suno.ai very nicely.
